The Pointe still remains the perfect setting for a break, to enjoy the sunset or rise, free wifi and the same services for your rafting weekend but for now we ask that you make reservations for our rafting, kayaking, canoeing, camping, hostels, breakfast, and our Ultimate BBQ. For your pleasure all our recreational equipment to enjoy your stay with us such as kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, volleyballs and mountain bikes are always at your fingertips! • Stay tuned on our Facebook page for updates! • For meals and accomodations, please see our Meals or Accomodations page.
